The New England Patriots underwent a plethora of changes at the wide receiver position this offseason, with many of their key contributors departing. Among those was wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who is off to a blazing start in his first year with the Los Angeles Rams. His former quarterback Tom Brady told reporters Friday he is happy Cooks is experiencing a high level of success.

From Zack Cox of NESN.

“I’m happy for those guys. Usually, when you leave, it’s because you get good opportunities in other places. I’m usually generally frustrated about football in general, just because it’s a frustrating sport, but I’m certainly happy for guys when they do well.”

Cooks has been among the most productive players at his position in the league through the first four weeks, tallying 26 receptions for 452 receiving yards and a touchdown. Although the rest of the league has yet to play in Week 4, he ranks sixth in receptions, second in yards, and fifth in receiving yards per game (113.0). He has notched at least five catches and more than 85 receiving yards in each game. He has also recorded a pair of 100 receiving yard games

The 25-year-old looks like a legitimate factor all over the field, bringing another element to an already potent offense. Cooks opens up the field for the other wide receivers in Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp, and quarterback Jared Goff has taken his game to another level.

Meanwhile, the Patriots have struggled out of the gate with their group of wide receivers. This alone has put more focus on the huge amount of success Cooks is having with the Rams. Ultimately, Brady is just showing support for one of his former teammates.
